The 66AK2Hxx platform combines the quad ARM Cortex-A15 processor with up to eight TMS320C66x high-performance DSPs using the KeyStone II architecture. The 66AK2H14/12/06 device provides up to 5.6 GHz of ARM and 9.6 GHz of DSP processing coupled with security, packet processing, and Ethernet switching at lower power than multichip solutions. The 66AK2H14/12/06 device is optimal for embedded infrastructure applications like cloud computing, media processing, high-performance computing, transcoding, security, gaming, analytics, and virtual desktop.

The C66x core combines fixed-point and floating-point computational capability in the processor without sacrificing speed, size, or power consumption. The raw computational performance is 38.4 GMACS/core and 19.2 Gflops/core (@ 1.2 GHz operating frequency). The C66x is also 100% backward compatible with software for C64x+ devices. The C66x core incorporates 90 new instructions targeted for floating point (FPi) and vector math oriented (VPi) processing.

The 66AK2H14/12/06 device has a complete set of development tools that includes: a C compiler, an assembly optimizer to simplify programming and scheduling, and a Windows®debugger interface for visibility into source code execution.Read more
